On a sunny day in December the ElephantTribe crew went to visit Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles, where Aaron Clark, a homeless veteran that lives in a tent on Omar street, chose the tribe to share his dream.

During a recent visit to a very dear friend’s local high school baseball game, I was reminded of Arthur Miller’s great play: “The Man Who Had All the Luck”. This was a great radiant day for me. Thank you to the inspiring young men in blue from Notre Dame. The picture above captures the energy of one of the many great philosophical pointers in Arthur Miller’s Play, where the family is awaiting the verdict on whether Amos has the skill to be drafted into the Major Leagues ….. if you haven’t read this play …… this might be a good inspiration to do so …..

It can only truly be good a place to live if it’s good everywhere. We can’t isolate us from the rest of the world. We can’t have it great here without everyone else having it good outside of here. We all get to feel better when everybody are feeling good. Everyone get to feel better when we feel good.
– Henrik Frederiksen, Founder ElephantTribe.org
Upon meeting Aaron Clark, a homeless veteran from the Iraq war, living on the streets of Los Angeles, we asked Aaron to draw his dream …… take a look closer on this drawing to really feel the dream that has been watering Aaron’s soul since he was 3 years old ….
“My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through.
If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: ‘You said the same thing a minute ago’… Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep.
When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl?
When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way… remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day… the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through.
If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.
And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked.
When those days come, don’t feel sad… just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love.
I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you… my darling daughter.”
